In the Name of Zibaay-eh Asemaani (The Heavenly Beauty)

Self-Study 1
http://www.untiredwithloving.org/baha_walad_selfstudy1.html
This treatise made up of few excerpts from both Arabic and Farsi
writings of Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Hussein Khatibi Balkhi, The Sultan of
scholars a.k.a Baha’ Walad the father of Rumi.
These writings deal with the Sheikh’s study of his own Nafs (Self),
observations ranging from his ailments to his ***uality to his Dhikr
(Remembrance) to judging others. He has bequeathed to us techniques
and methodologies of self-study and self-therapy unparalleled even by
the today’s advances.
Baha’ Walad explicates the meaning of the Subhana-Ka (Sanctification
for You), in accordance to the Arabic grammar, in accordance to the
terminologies of Qur’an, as well as taking into account the sentience
of human vitiation and mentors us how to use our shortcomings and foul
behavior while being during this Dhikr.
The excerpts have been adapted into a love letter from a nobody to a
somebody, and this Rahi (Author) wishes for those coming after him to
use the template for affectionate and passionate mystic writings.
For every blossom blooms only once, never twice, and the love between
‘you & I’ blooms only once as well.
